Winter weddings are often difficult for photographer due to low light, freezing temperatures and clients who would rather be inside. For Maura and Matt, the stars aligned to make it the perfect wedding day. They are both runners, along with most of their bridal party, so the cold temps didn’t deter us from being able to catch some gorgeous shots outside. Maura got ready at her parent’s house, along with her bridal party. Everyone was all smiles as they prepared for the big day. Matt and the groomsmen got ready in a nearby hotel and they all met at the church. Matt’s smile lit up as he saw Maura walking down the aisle to meet him. After their sweet ceremony, we headed over to the Ashley Reservoir, where Maura used to run. The big pine trees and frozen lake made the perfect backdrop for their photos. Maura even got matching gloves for her and her bridesmaids!

The reception took place at Mill 1 at Open Square, a gorgeous renovated old mill building. There were so many opportunities for photos and we enjoyed exploring the brick, steel doors and industrial wood floors. Their reception kicked off and then it was a happy family affair with plenty of dancing and laughs. Matt and his mom even had a choreographed dance, which Maura joined in. To top it off, they had a sparkler exit with the bridal party. A wonderful night to remember and perfect way to cap off our 2018 wedding season. Cheers!
